The embodiment of the invention discloses a method for making a low-carbon inorganic building material, which comprises the following steps: preparing base material powder and active material powder by powder milling, or ball milling or the combination thereof; mixing the base material powder and the active material powder in a certain proportion to obtain a main body material; spreading the mainbody material according to the preset shape to form a blank; doping a previously prepared inducing material into the blank, so that the base material and the active material in the blank body react in a crystallization, complexing, oxidation and reduction mode; and curing the blank doped with the inducing material under preset conditions. The invention does not need to obtain inorganic non-metal materials by high temperature sintering, can not destroy and consume a great deal of precious mineral resources and energy sources in the production process, can not generate waste gas, waste water, waste residue, dust or other substances which can produce severe environmental pollution, effectively lowers the investment cost and the comprehensive production cost, and effectively utilizes part of industrial residue and tailings in metallurgical industry.
